Description
Overview
For sale is my extremely well-specified 2009 Land Rover Defender 90 Puma Hardtop (2.4 TDCi Diesel), which I have owned and cherished for approximately 10 years.
I purchased the vehicle from Craddocks of Cannock in 2016, having previously been owned and maintained by Scottish Power, who kept it regularly serviced and in excellent working order.
Since then, it has been my pride and joy and has faithfully served in a variety of roles…
Overview
For sale is my extremely well-specified 2009 Land Rover Defender 90 Puma Hardtop (2.4 TDCi Diesel), which I have owned and cherished for approximately 10 years.
I purchased the vehicle from Craddocks of Cannock in 2016, having previously been owned and maintained by Scottish Power, who kept it regularly serviced and in excellent working order.
Since then, it has been my pride and joy and has faithfully served in a variety of roles including:
- Daily commuter
- European and Scandinavian overlanding vehicle
- Winter support vehicle during severe Aberdeenshire storms and snow events
- General workhorse and expedition vehicle
Over the years, a significant amount of time, effort and money has been invested in carefully selected upgrades, making this one of the best-equipped Defender 90s available.
Unfortunately, due to declining health, the projects I had planned for it are no longer getting done, and it’s time for someone else to take ownership and finish bringing it back to top condition.
I could have completed the remaining work through a specialist garage and marketed it as a fully restored “Chelsea Tractor” as the specification genuinely justifies it. Instead, I’m offering it at a price where the buyer can make a profit.
Most of the parts required for restoration and future upgrades are included in the sale.
